The uninhibited beauty of nature is reflected in a flowering “Garden of Paradise” joyously rendered through an extraordinary technical feat of planning, weaving prowess, and virtuoso dye-work. This extremely finely woven Kermanshah offers astounding beauty combined with consummate craftsmanship. Its semi-diffuse center medallion is made of bouquets, floral swirls, and sprays arranged in a visually striking contrast of color and realistically rendered species. Paddle-like pendants sweep out into the field where a closer study of this gorgeous rug’s sinuous boughs and branches reveals a challenging composition to achieve except through an absolute mastery of craft. Naturally sourced dye ingredients were employed in the sparklingly diverse palette of hues, bringing tremendous dimensionality to every frond and flower. This imaginative recreation of nature’s bounty, through the mind’s eye of the weaver, is where the essence of verdant botanical miracles is brought to life through a woolen canvas. Remarkable heavier pile condition adds immense desirability to this superlative piece from a glorious City tradition.
The suffix Shah to the names of persons and places is a common method in the past and in the Sassanid period, the name of a region or province was mentioned with the suffix Shah, so that the first pyramid ruled Gilan with the title of Gilan Shah, and the third pyramid ruled Sistan with The title of Skanshah and Vahram IV (Bahram) was the ruler of Kerman and the title of Kermanshah.
